After much deliberation at last night's meeting, ANC4B finally voted to not support the Large Tract Review for Square 298 (aka "the Curtis Chevrolet Site" or "the site of the potential Walmart") unless a long series of recommendations are adopted. The recommendations are in the areas of transportation demand management and traffic circulation, building design, safety, neighborhood impact, and community benefits. I only have access to the draft resolution at this point; I'll link to the final resolution once I get a hold of it.

4B's resolution is similar to the resolution that ANC4A adopted, which also opposed Walmart's LTR.

Tonight, Ward 4 Thrives Community Meeting, June 1st at 6:30pm, at the Fort Stevens Rec Center. We've been busy since the Office of Planning put developer Foulger-Pratt's Large Tract Review on hold.

Community-Led Development!

Ward Four Thrives is neighbors, business owners, and allies committed to community-led development in our neighborhoods. Together we will work to stop WalMart from moving in. There are alternatives, and we will work with the city to find one that will bring living wage jobs, responsible development, and just business practices to our neighborhood. Let's face it; WalMart does not care about our community, and we can do better.

W4T meets monthly on the first Wednesday of the month. Stay tuned to the blog for location announcements!
